Paris Hilton doesn't care if critics slate her new album.

The 'Stars Are Blind' singer - who is currently promoting her self-titled debut album - understands people may be sceptical over her new career, but is confident her musical talent will impress even the toughest critics.

She told the Chicago Tribune newspaper: "I can understand people prejudging but the music speaks for itself."

Paris - who has also tried her hand at acting, fashion design and television - insists singing is her biggest passion.

She said: "I've been singing and playing the piano and violin since I was six, so it's something I've been doing my whole life."

Paris, 25, is confident her album will be a success.

She said: "I know music so I know people will love it."
